Mrs. Bfxby became convinced the other
day that retrenchment was absolutely
necessary in her household expenses.

Poor husband is quite worried over our
affairs. Now, how can save 50 or $40
and show Mr.. BiXby that women can be

who has had happy thought. Il VIII

Then She put on her hat and went down
town. so elated over her ''clear saving of
five whole dollars that she intended
walking home with Mr.. BiXby ut noon
and telling him all about 1t.
Il wonder now" she said, as she
stopped before the windows of a glove
store. Il wonder if / couldn't afford n
new pair of those tan kid gloves with
stitching on the back. l really need
them ami I've saved So by going without
my hat, so-yes, III get them; they'll
cost only 81"
Ten minutes later she stood before the
ribbon counter in a dry goods store.
This ribbon IS really very cheap, I" she
was saying TO herself, ''and need a lot
of ribbon awfully. Iwonder if could af-
ford it today. Let me see, I-oh, OF

And she bought ten yards OF ribbon ut

So she bought "a little for S1.75.
Then she got ''the greatest kind of bar

$3.50.
q never would have bought it, she
said TO herself, ''but it was so cheap, and
then I'd saved five dollars this morning. "

Then she repaired to Bixby's Office with
the tale Of her economy, and ended by
saying:
''And here few little things thought
l could afford after saving so much by
going without my hat"
BiXby asked a few questions, made a
rapid calculation, and said in an utterly
heartleSS tone
"See here, Sally, don't you economic
